Artist's Comments

If there's a creation story about the birth of music, then this is my rendition. Either it's:

A.) A great lizard-beast decided to give the gift of music to the peoples of the surrounding hillside,

B.) That's actually what God looks like and he decided it was high time that people learned how to dance, or

C.) Some crazy lizard thing threw up musical instruments, which were purple at the time, and from there we discovered tubas and violins in the same day.

And that's the gospel truth.

I vote for a combination of B & C: God, who *obviously* looks like this, decided that it was high time the people learned to dance. God's digestive fluids, as everyone knows, are purple, so the instruments you see are simply brass coated in God's internal fluids.

And those violins? Yeah, those were thrown in as a parting gift to those uppity ones who believe they're too good to play a *real* instrument, like the tuba.

And clearly, God wasn't vomiting up a French Horn just yet because he was still working on perfecting it.

That, or the bell got caught in his larynx.

Of course he looks like this. All scholars agree. It's written in every holy text, for reals.

Actually, I hate to break it to you, but according to The Divine Plan, french horns aren't supposed to exist. I guess you've just been doing it wrong.

Doing *what* wrong, exactly?

And the only Divine Plan I've seen that said French Horns need not exist was back in version 3.6, before the idea of Homo Sapiens ever crossed His almighty mind. Since we're clearly operating in Divine Plan 4.2, the French Horn is well-established as the pinnacle of His holy musical expression.

*Sigh*

Maybe I was wrong. Maybe it's flutes that weren't in The Divine Plan. That's what you get for reading the translation.
